For A While
Russell Alice Lyrics

Explanations are too a pain in me
I find it difficult to explain things

And then you fall quiet
You become quiet and unresponsive

Communication fade
Our way of communicating becomes less effective

We find ourselves back again
We keep repeating the same cycle

And eat us up, 2012
Our past mistakes continue to haunt us and cause problems

Let me back up and hide
I want to retreat and hide from everything

Maybe you're not a preacher
Perhaps you are not as knowledgeable or experienced as you claim to be

So don't you serve it up
Don't try to convince me of something that may not be true

If you were me for a while
If you were in my situation for a period of time

But that's just bitter of you
Your response is harsh and hurtful

'Cause you are sad inside
You are feeling down or depressed

Maybe you'd think about it
Perhaps you would reconsider your position

More, and realize
You would come to a deeper understanding of the situation

And now your feet are under the table
You are now comfortable and relaxed

Chew my mind up caught you asleep
You have worn me down and caught me off guard

But is it ever meant to be rough
Is it necessary for things to be difficult or unpleasant?

In time, upon the crest of a wave
Things will get better with time and we will experience a peak of success

Big wave, big sharks, big as your fingers
We are facing huge challenges that threaten to consume us

Won't sit and spill to the next
We won't let our problems spill over and affect others

Let's get down quiet on the moment
Let's focus on the present moment and be calm

Inside you beat it, boy and before
You have faced challenges and overcome them in the past

And eat us up, 3012
Our future problems will continue to cause us distress

But I am not a preacher
I don't claim to have all the answers

So no I won't serve it up
I won't pretend to know what to do

I so love you
I love you deeply

It's dead inside
I feel empty and lifeless

It's on, my heart
I am fully committed and invested in this relationship

And I, I'm sending
I am putting myself out there and making an effort

Out for more high
I am looking for something that will give me a sense of fulfillment

Always comes to the same we started at the bottom
We keep repeating the same negative cycle

So let's meet at the top my friend
Let's work together to overcome our challenges and achieve success

It's no use sending, pretending that
It's not worth pretending or trying to be something that we're not

If anyone else would ever come close to you
If anyone else were in your position

Maybe you'd think more and realize
Perhaps you would come to a deeper understanding of our situation

If you were me just for a while
If you were in my position for a period of time
